Chelsea’s dominant run finally came to an end after they slipped to two consecutive defeats, that too in one of the most crucial stages of the season. They now need to win both their remaining league games to guarantee their qualification of the Champions League and also their only hope of winning a trophy this season lies on their performance against the dominant Manchester City. However, they will be hungry and will first look to exact revenge against Leicester City who beat them for the FA Cup trophy last weekend.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Leicester City match are:
Chelsea vs Leicester City Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea still have one of the best defences in Europe this season and have the joint most clean sheets in the Premier League. Tuchel’s formula for success in games lies in strong defending and they will look to adopt just that against Leicester. Thus betting on Chelsea to keep a clean sheet at odds of 2.20(betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Both teams have been great in defence recently. We saw in the previous fixture of these two teams how tough the teams found it to break each other’s solid defence resulting in the match to have only one goal in total. Betting on this game to have less than 2.5 goals too at odds of 1.80(bet 365) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Chelsea were the more dominant team with loads of attacks in both the games they lost and had a total of 19 corners. Thus betting on Chelsea to earn more than 6.5 corners in this game at odds of 2.25 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Quick Rich
Both teams will look to play it safe in the first half and not risk much as the Champions League fate of both teams still hangs in the balance. Thus betting on the half time scoreline to end as 0-0 at odds of 2.75 can give high returns at minimal risk.
We expect this to be a very intense match with both teams fighting till the death. Betting on the combination of the game to have more than 10.5 corners and Leicester to have more than 1.5 cards at odds of 3.60 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea fans had a very disappointing and frustrating week seeing their team lose in 2 very important games As a result, Liverpool are now only one point behind them and have an easier run of fixtures ahead. We however expect Tuchel and the Chelsea squad to regroup themselves and end the season on a high, starting with a win and some payback against Leicester , which at odds of 1.75 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Bet During the Match
If Leicester city score first in the match, Chelsea will be desperate to score a goal and get some points for them so as to avoid falling out of the Champions League spots. Thus betting on a Chelsea win or draw at current odds of 1.20 (betway) can be a good bet to make during the match.
